Tom Tully (comic writer)

Tom Tully is a noted British comic writer mostly of sports and action stories. He is probably most famous as the longest-running writer of the popular football-themed strip "Roy of the Rovers", which he wrote for much of Roy Race's playing career until the weekly comic closed in 1993.

From 1963 to 1970, Tully was the principal writer on "Steel Claw" for "Valiant" with artist Jesus Blasco, taking over for the fourth serial from Ken Bulmer, and later returning from 1971 to 1973 for the sequel strip, "Return of the Claw". He also worked on Kelly's Eye and Janus Stark, and wrote Heros the Spartan with art by Frank Bellamy for Eagle comic. In the 1970s, he worked on Johnny Red for Battle Picture Weekly. He worked on many "2000 AD" projects including "Dan Dare", Bandai's licensed "Robo Machines" serial and the sports related "Harlem Heroes" and "Mean Arena". He also created "The Mind of Wolfie Smith" for Tornado, which later transferred to 2000 AD.

He is now retired.
